After a good, long run, we have decided to close our forums in an effort to refocus attention to other sections of the site. Fortunately for you all, we're living in a time where discussion of a favorite topic now has a lot of homes. So we encourage you all to bring your ravenous love for discussion to Chuck's official Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. And, as always, you can still post comments on all News updates. Thank you for your loyalty and passion over the years. These changes will happen June 1.

I am just not nearly as outgoing in person as I may come off here. I am not shy at all, but I am a lot quieter generally than you may imagine. Giving verbal care and empathy towards people, especially strangers, is just very draining and takes a lot of concentration. I don't actually feel towards people very often, I have empathetic thoughts, but not emotions. Like I logically care for strangers, but don't actually get emotional about that care often. Does that make sense? I also do not like touching, being touched or touching.

I wouldn't be good at any of the caring professions. It just wouldn't be natural for me. Nursing, counseling, any sort of beauty professional, physical therapist et cetera. Not my bag of tricks.

What I want to do is get in school and work towards something in the library sciences. I am also very interested in brewing (beer), and writing and painting and drawing. Things to do with science and study of metaphysical things- not indulging in them so much as understanding the history and psychology behind them. Things where I may constantly learn and improve my brain and intelligence and be surrounded by abstract beauty.

"Hey, you like music? You should be one of those radio DJs! No? Well how about being a doctor? You don't like dead people, do you? The best doctors hate dead people. What? No, that doesn't make any sense, if they were unaffected by death and gore why would they want to stop it? It was like you were born to be one! No? Okay, well you're really great computering, I see you email like almost everyday... you should start one of those Microsoftware companies. You'd be so good at it!"

That sounds like most of the hairdresser, that I've ever run into. They make the clients pay out the booty to get touched/hair-do. It's 100-120 just for highlights around here! Rich folks village. And that's a moderate price for this area.

But I do like your other interests, pepper. Especially the library science.

That is the first time I have made neat little compact list of my interests in forever ever.

Do you know how long people have to know me to get all of those interests alone out of me?!

I think I only know one non-related non internet person that could have told you I like all of those things and I have known her for over a decade.

And that was a very simple list! Didn't even mention anything obscure at all! (of course the friend in question could mention all kinds of crazy obscure things too, but my point was, my neighbor of the last almost decade couldn't have told you any of that)

Oh, the empathy sentence. I totally am like that in real life. I feel bad for people who go through bad stuff (and you'll see exactly what I mean some time from now), but I can't express it. Either I don't have enough life experience, or I don't have the words for it. Or the feelings, in most cases, with people I know in real life. I've often found myself caring more for you guys. Let me give you an example. I have an autistic cousin, who was supposed to die the day he was born (or so the doctors said back then). When mum told me, I wasn't sure how to feel, I didn't cry or anything. I still haven't cried for my grandpa, and he died almost a year ago. When I read the news about Xander, though, I swear anything could make me cry that day. It was the 1st of October and I was glad I had no classes yet and could stay home, all puffy-eyed.

My point is, that's probably one of the reasons I feel closest to you.

It is just hair. It will grow back out, and can be fixed or cut off if it turns out bad. It isn't like a tattoo or piercing.

I have always been rather willing to get weird with my hair, more than other body modifications, this is true. There are still things I hesitate to do, like actually shaving my head.

Honestly, doing drastic things to may hair is a bit of an outlet for me. When I get too frustrated or pent up over other things. Instead of cutting or using drugs or running off and fucking random people, my big obvious self destruction is doing weird things to my hair out of nowhere. And it usually ends up positive instead of negative like those other sorts of behaviors end up. I've changed myself. Perhaps suddenly and outlandishly. But I feel good in the end instead of self loathing like other behaviors will have one. So there you have it.

Also, Pepper's camera makes everybody look like they're moving 30 MPH, underwater, and I'm drunk. But props for doing whatever you want with your hair. My hair owns me. I've had the same hair cut since I was 7. I got some sort of bob thing that year but my hair didn't like it and I've been its bitch ever since.

Also, I have feelings for you too Amy now let's run away together be in love, we've both seen enough romantic comedies, I know we'll be really good at it.

Sometimes it will take the most lovely pictures, other times it decides it is going to make everything grainy underwater nonsense. I just assume it is PMSing at these times and let it be and then it gets back to being nice and sweet aging within a few days.

I actually fish a lot now, and ice fish. I haven't been fly fishing but season doesn't start until next month so i'm sure i'll have tons of pictures. I know it seems uncharacteristic but whatever i'm a free spirit

We have deer. We can sometimes see them on our way to the country, in the forest split by the highway. We also have the most wolves in Europe or something. And bears, of course. And chamois, but those are rare and protected.

I was actually at Pål Martin's parents' house, and a momma moose and her baby were walking around in the backyard! It was extremely exciting, I'd never seen a moose from that close. The momma was huge.

There's been a lot of hoo-ha about deer in the UK recently. Because they're seldom hunted these days, their numbers are really out of control. Farmers now consider them as vermin. It makes me sad to think of them that way because they're such beautiful animals. Stupid but beautiful animals.

Which reminds me:
me: I like that avatar.
my daughter: MOM! No one calls it an avatar anymore! *rolls eyes*
me: What do they call it, then?
daughter: *sigh*
me: Well?
daughter: They call it a profile picture!!! *laughs in my face*
me: I'm going to post this conversation.
me: You're so mean.

G cracks me up. And yes, I know this is in the wrong thread.
But, can't help where the comedy bug bites me.
